The UI was similar on both - this of course is why the first version of NT was called "version 3.1".

I upgraded the home system to NT as soon as I could scrounge some spare SCSI disks from work :-) I subsequently and briefly used Windows for Workgroups 3.11 at home (approximately speaking, Windows 3.1 with networking and 32-bit disk drivers/file system).

My experience is from the viewpoint of a programmer who was new to both Windows and to PCs (in fact, it was only the emergence of NT that persuaded me to move off VMS). I worked for DEC at the time, and was working on an NT-based project. As far as I recall, I was using it on some 60 MHz Pentium and on a DECpc AXP 150 ("Jensen"). NT 3.1 was the first version of Windows I ever used.
